She flipped it open and shuffled through the paperwork as she listened to the boy talk.

"These calming potions...do you acquire them on your own? Are they simply stored with your belongings in the common room?" she asked, making sure she knew all the information in case Jake ran out of his potions or forgot to take them. "...and if you run out?" Gabriella was, thankfully, familiar with people who took daily does of calming potions. What she wasn't completely familiar with was children administering these daily doses all on their own.

"No sugar?" she asked, not expecting an answer but rather restating the words to help her remember. There'd be no 'spoon full of sugar to help the medicine go down' for this one. She narrowed her eyes, though, when he mentioned having fits at some point last school year. "Weird fits? What sort of weird fits?" she asked. She clasped her hands on her desk then reclined in her chair. She couldn't help but feel sympathetic for this young man.

Admittedly, Jake was quite proud of the system that Healers and so forth had worked out for him. He smiled slightly and explained, imagining the process of the potion as he did so. "Th-there's a ppppart of mmmmy tr-trunk. K-k-keeps the ppppotions in the rrrright cccconditions... An' wwwhen I ruhh-run out, my mmmmother sends mmmmore." Hmmm... Well, it could get a bit more complicated than that, but that was the main thing.

Still, he left it at that for now, not speaking up again until he was asked a question which called for quality in the answer. Quite an uncomfortable kind of question too. Those fits had been scarce but scared. "Llllike... Seizures..." he explained, shrugging a shoulder. "I bbblacked out al-alot lllllast term too. Dddddun' matter..."
